“The Proposal” wasn’t accepted by many viewers Monday night, tying a series low in the key adults 18-49 range for its Season 1 finale, according to overnight numbers from Nielsen.

And while its home network, ABC, still tied for first in the key demo with NBC for the evening, it was the latter network who won the overall eyeballs trophy, thanks to another highly-rated “American Ninja Warrior.”

ABC and NBC tied for first in ratings with a 1.0 rating/5 share and 1.0/4, respectively, in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary numbers.

NBC was first in total viewers with an average of 4.9 million. “American Ninja Warrior” posted a 1.1 rating/5 share and 5.8 million viewers overall from 8 to 10 p.m., tying its season high among total viewers. The network aired a repeat of “America’s Got Talent” at 10 p.m.

ABC was second in total viewers with 3.9 million. “Bachelor in Paradise” drew a 1.2/6 and 4.6 million viewers from 8 to 10 p.m., but the network was dragged down by “The Proposal’s” 0.5 demo rating/2 share and 2.4 million total viewer count.

Fox was third in ratings with a 0.6/3 and fourth in viewers with 2.7 million, airing “So You Think You Can Dance?” from 8 to 10 p.m.

Telemundo was fourth in ratings with a 0.5/2 and fifth in viewers with 1.4 million.

CBS was third in viewers with 3.2 million. The network aired repeats during the 8 p.m. hour, while “Salvation” garnered a 0.3/1 and 2.6 million total viewers. At 10 p.m., “Elementary” drew a 0.5/2 and 3.6 million total viewers.

Univision was sixth in viewers with 1.2 million.

The CW was seventh in ratings with a 0.3/1 and in viewers with 1.4 million. “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” posted a 0.3 rating/2 and 1.6 million total viewers at 8 p.m. “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” drew a 0.3/1 and 1.2 million viewers, followed by a repeat at 9:30 p.m.

17 TV Shows That Live on in Comics: From 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' to 'Battlestar Galactica' (Photos)

San Diego Comic-Con is upon us once more, and that means a chance to nerd out about movies, comic books and TV shows. So TheWrap thought we'd take this opportunity to combine two of those mediums and look at several series that became comics. Click through our gallery to get a glimpse at programs that lived on after their small screen finales, thanks to a little help from some talented artists.

1. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- We can tell you right now Joss Whedon's name will show up on this list more than any other showrunner's, as the guy loves to keep canon going for all of his series in comic book form with Dark Horse Comics. And of course that includes his pride and joy, "Buffy."

2. "The X-Files" -- Yes, we know that "The X-Files" actually did get revived a couple years ago (and then died again), however, the Fox series first picked back up in issues brought to fans by IDW Publishing.

3. "Charmed" -- Here is another one that came back to the small screen, only The CW rebooted the franchise with a different cast; whereas these Zenescope Entertainment comics fill in what's been happening with the OG sisters, played by Hollie Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty and Rose McGowan, since the 2006 series finale.

4. "Firefly" -- Another Whedonverse series that got a canonical continuation in comics, only this one was way more short-lived than "Buffy." The one-season wonder led by Nathan Fillion carries on in the "Serenity" comics, named after the spaceship the crew travels on.

5. "Dollhouse" -- Same as "Firefly," but with Eliza Dushku.

6. "Jericho" -- This CBS sci-fi series got just two seasons on air, but two more in print.

IDW Publishing

7. "Star Trek: The Original Series" -- The Star Trek franchise has been adapted for almost every medium, and comics is no exception, with this IDW series continuing the story of the USS Enterprise.

9. "Smallville" -- This series published by DC Comics maintains the continuity of the WB's "Smallville" and follows Clark Kent's (Tom Welling) story after the on-screen Season 10 finale.

10. "Angel" -- The spinoff to "Buffy" (and a show some fans say may be Joss' real masterpiece) got its own series of stories a few years after cancellation. Those comics constantly crossover with the Scooby Gang's storylines in the "Buffy" series, so plenty of fun for fans of the Buffyverse as a whole. But the core story now focuses on Angel and Faith's relationship -- in a series called "Angel & Faith."

Dark Horse

11. "Farscape" -- This Sci Fi (now Syfy) network show wasn't appreciated in its own time, but got a series of comics following its cancellation after Season 4, thanks to a strong cult following.

BOOM! Studios

12. "Battlestar Galactica" --The acclaimed reimagining went out with a truly baffling bang in 2009, but the 2018 Dynamite Entertainment series "BSG vs BSG" tops it. The comic sees the crew of the 2003-2009 SYFY series encounters the crew of the 1978 series.

14. "Doctor Who" -- Are the "Doctor Who" comics canon? Well, because some of them were published by Titan before the show's revival, some fans say yes. And others will give an emphatic no.

Titan Comics

15. "Babylon 5" -- Almost every "Babylon 5" comic that's been written since the TV series ended is considered part of the franchise, having been based on outlines written directly by creator Joseph Michael Straczynski.

DC Comics

16. "Married... With Children" -- Yeah, this one may seem like a weird show to adapt into comic book form until you find out that...

NOW Comics

17. "Alf" -- ... this one was too.

Marvel Comics
